synthroid

Avatar n tn Is there anything I should know about how to take my Synthroid, 75 mcg and Zoloft, 150? I would like to know if I should take them separately and if so, how many hours apart?
990510 tn?1249238897 I have hypothyroidism with some increase in throglobulin antibodies. (what ever it is) I was on generic synthroid for 6 months and have been on sythroid for 1 year. I also take zoloft. I am wondering if the zoloft is making my thyroid worse. If so I would like to change it. I have always noticed that is does not do much for my anxiety and I am on a high dose 150 mg. my dose is now at 112 mcg for synthroid and symptoms seem to be worsening. I am frustrated.
492307 tn?1214186739 I had been on Zoloft for 4 yrs. I had read "somewhere" on the internet that Zoloft can affect your thyroid. I did wean VERY slowly. Also I cannot for the life of me (brain fog??) remember my TSH, but my free T4 was .6 and my Dr. said she wanted it at 1.3. To adreilove I have been taking synthroid in the morning, and each day I feel worse. I keep telling myself it's all in my head and I'll feel GREAT the next day, but I just keep getting worse.
Avatar f tn Then my doctor moved and I tried so many trying to get back to normal because I had weaned myself off the Zoloft and also way down in Synthroid. Major Mistake!!! Finally I found a good doc and he wanted to get me on Cymbalta because in my 60s I began to have arthritis symptoms. It helped with that and the depression for a while but then, I lost a job and since I live alone I did not go out or anywhere and sank back into some depression.
Avatar n tn My sister is on Zoloft and Synthroid. If you have any links, would you mind sending me a message with the links? I'd like to read them to check out the possibility of it being related. Thanks.
Avatar m tn im hypothyroid and have conflicting symptoms (tremors, coldness, morning cold sweats,) all causing anxiety which is probably the root of some symptoms. The docs started me on .75 mcg Synthroid which made me go hyper and to the ER. I've got a new endo and she suspects that I'm having adrenal hyperactivity to the meds so she's testing my adrenal levels. She's probably going to start me up again on synthroid very low dose.
377600 tn?1225163436 I read that too. On the endocrine web. Except I take Zoloft. It says that that if you take Zoloft you may need more of the Synthroid. Strange. You try to fix one thing and something else happens. I've decided to try and fix the thyroid first then deal with the depression. LOL It might not work that way though. Maybe the Lexapro is the cause of your chest discomfort?
497348 tn?1283436066 100mcg of levothyroxine synthroid. after about 4 days later I was lying in bed and I had some attack of onset dizziness and lightheadedness. It was basically a panic attack thats what it felt like. The Emergency room said that is Labyrinthtis, after that diagnosis I went to a ENT specialist and she said that I do not have Labyrinthitis its all my thyroid... I was on .100mcg of Synthroid then .150, .125 now .88...
Avatar n tn Your doctor may want to up the dosage on your Zoloft. I take Synthroid also, and was on Celexa, which became too expensive for me. I talked to my pharmacist about a generic. I was told there is none, but there is a medication almost identical to it called Citolopram. I called my doctor and he had no problem switching me. I was hesitant to switch, but expenses forced me to, and what a success! I have gone from paying $101.00 per mo (after ins) for Celexa to $10.
1891163 tn?1321119046 Doc now says I have anxiety issues and wanted to put me on Zoloft. I blame the Synthroid. I said no to the Zoloft and told him I was going to stop taking the Synthroid. I just quit taking it last week, so I will have to let you know how it goes as time goes on. My sister also takes Synthroid, a very high dose since her thyroid was killed due to over activity. She also has major "panic attacks".
1210047 tn?1265994928 After 16 yrs on Zoloft, 12 yrs Zoloft w/Gabitril, I felt over medicated. Weaned off Gabitril, over period of 6 months, and no trouble sleeping through the night, or other anxiety. Felt much better, since Gabitril made me physically tired, and mind was 'foggy', as my Dr. stated. Recently weaned off zoloft, simply stopping. No side effects of depression, though tremendous stomach upset prompted me to go back on, after being off for 3 weeks.
362387 tn?1207274119 Hello Jesse, I swear I did read anti-depressants playing some havoc on thyroid levels. I will try and check it out more since I am having an insomnia night. If I get anywhere I will write back. Maybe it was the - take 4 hr apart thing - I do recall that for sure. I think your endo and shrink may not put the two together. Try your pharmacist. I found a real young one at the walgreens I go to and he pulls up a medication side effect and Dx discription from the Internal medicine college.
Avatar n tn how long should i wait between doses when taking liquid zoloft and synthroid
Avatar f tn I have a new doctor now (other one retired) and because I have some aches and arthritis, he took me off Zoloft and put me on Cymbalta which helped with pains. I have never been the same as when on Zoloft. The depression freeze of not wanting to get up, go out and do a thing has not left me. I went up in dose of Cymbalta to 120 mg/day from 60 and still it didn't help. I went back to Zoloft and started hurting like the flu. All aches and pains came back bigger than ever.
Avatar m tn has anyone struggled with jealousy issues and experienced relief on zoloft? I feel like I might be starting to chill out a little. Note: I have absolutely no reason to be jealous. I honestly could not ask for a more loyal wife. She completely loves me.
492307 tn?1214186739 Or know of where I can find this info again? I know that IF you take Zoloft and Synthroid there is an absorption issue, you have to take more synthoid to see the results. Any info or help with this would ease my mind. Zoloft worked WONDERS for my depression, and IF it didn't cause all these issues with my thyroid I MIGHT consider going back on, even with the sexual side effect at this point!!!!
Avatar n tn i am on Zoloft, Synthroid, Birth Control pill, Aciphex and vitamins...any suggestions??? oh, and if i feel horny, i just masterbate in 30 seconds and get it over with.
Avatar n tn Please post your thyroid test results and reference ranges and let's start from there.
1034160 tn?1252549558 I started having attacks like you describe in Dec of 2008, I went to the ER thinking I was having a heart attack. They did a CT scan of my heart & lungs looking for a blood clot said everything was clear and sent me home that Saturday the nurse from teh ER called to say that I had a mass on in my neck & to see my family doctor ASAP.
Avatar m tn t know, do I just stop taking the Effexor Xr and start taking the Zoloft or do I need to taper the Effex Xr and the start the Zoloft??
Avatar n tn Hi maglieannie, I got the results and I was mistaken about TSH being high. They are: TSH <0.03 (L), Free4 2.2(H), Free3 3.5. Can you tell me if this would cause the depression and anxiety? When these labs were drawn on May 10 I was on 137mcg of synthroid. I am now on 112 mcg of synthroid and I stand 5'6" and weigh 169 lbs. Any information you can give would be so appreciated.
Avatar n tn I was on tranquilizer 3-4X month for anxiety which they said at first was depression and scripted Zoloft .. I said NO .. i.t is hormonal feeling and not clinical....so we went to ATivan andit worked! That lasted about4-5yrs and then I had thyroid surgery for a lump and ended up on Synthroid now with supressed levels for thy cancer (small tumors found) and guess what .. ALL MY GYN PROBLEMS are gone and not an ATivan one time for PMS anxiety and all is regular and I am fine in that dept ...
Avatar f tn I am prone to panic attacks and anxiety and am also on Zoloft 50 mg and Klonopon as needed. Any help or advice would be great.
Avatar f tn I used diagnosed 5 months ago with the "Hypo" as I lovingly refer to it and it's been 5 months of hell. I've been through 2 dr's and on several different doses of Synthroid - oh-- and one trip to the ER. I had a drug interaction my first week with my Zoloft. So, no SSRI for me. I just recently switched to Armour in hopes of having less of side effects.
1346429 tn?1303874854 When I found out I was pg they took me off all my meds except insulin, synthroid, and oc the prenatal vitamin. I can no longer take my heart meds for high blood pressure and irregular hb; topomax for migraines; metaphormin; and a few others. Which I quit taking some of my meds before pregnancy because I did a lifestyle change in which it helped enough that I could quit taking the extra meds. As far as C-section...
5050843 tn?1362870326 Been on Zoloft 150mg upto 200mg for approx 10 years. Has recent thyroid removal and taking synthroid, calcium and Vit D for past 3 months. New lab test reveal extremely underacttive thyroid so synthroid dose increases along w recommended Wellbutrin XL to control further depression I was feeling. I assumed I was to immediately replace the Zoloft w the Wellbutrin, I&#39;ve had life altering change in emotion and behavior and I don&#39;t recognize myself.
Avatar f tn I was diagnosed with hypothyroidism a bout 4 months ago, and put on Synthroid. I started taking it and felt no change as far as being tired for the first month. Then, the second month rolled around and I went from weighing 125 lbs to all of a sudden weighing 140 lbs. I have always been skinny due to anorexia history when I was a teenager, but I live a pretty healthy life now. I eat a healthy diet and try to exercise when I have time.
